Chapter 97: Tell The Truth

The tense scene of the appraisal ended just like that because of the overly authoritative result.

The He family and the Lu family were equally shocked by this result. However, the appraisal master was found by He Yousi. Although the hH family and the Lu family had been friends for a hundred years, it was still a competitive relationship. This was an opportunity to attack the Lu family. The He family would not relent no matter what.

Moreover, old madam Lu and Lu Qingzhuo had originally intended to break off the engagement with the He family.

The Lu family’s side branch was also baffled. How did Lu Qingzhuo suddenly have such an old son?

The Lu family knew about Lu Qingzhuo’s accident. There were also people who knew some private information and knew that Lu Qingzhuo had lost the ability to be a man. According to their expectations, old madam Lu would die in the future, only Lu Qingzhuo, Lu Qinglan, and Lu Qingliu would be left in the Lu family. Lu Qingzhuo had no offspring, and Lu Qingliu was too sickly and wouldn’t appear to last long. Lu Qinglan was just a woman, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Sooner or later, the Lu family would be theirs.

But now, a random person came out of nowhere, and that unknown woman came back with Lu Qingzhuo’s blood and bones. This made the He and Lu families feel a sense of crisis.

But they couldn’t act rashly now.

With so many pairs of eyes watching, they had to endure it no matter how unwilling they were.

He Shouxin’s name was carefully written into the Lu family tree and was officially changed to Lu Shouxin.

After the family tree entry ceremony was completed, old madam Lu politely invited the others back.

The noisy mansion soon returned to its usual calmness. Only Old Madam Lu, Lu Qingzhuo, and He Youran were left in the living room.

Pang Zhong stood guard outside the door. As for Lu Shouxin, he was brought out by Lu Qinglan to play.

Madam Lu looked at Lu Qingzhuo and then at He Youran. Even now, she still had lingering fear in her heart. She asked Lu Qingzhuo uncertainly,

“Qingzhuo, what happened today?”

Lu Shouxin was clearly not Lu Qingzhuo’s son. How could the appraiser say yes? Wasn’t the appraiser invited by the He family in the capital?

“Grandma, I’m not too sure either.” Lu Qingzhuo looked at He Youran with a meaningful gaze. “I think Youran should know.”

Instantly, Old Madam Lu also looked at He Youran.

Being stared at by two pairs of eyes, He Youran instantly felt immense pressure.

She only found out about the fact that the He family of imperial capital had invited Beauty Control to be the appraiser, okay?

That woman could really bear to give her such a big “surprise”!

“Ahem,” He Youran coughed dryly and rubbed her nose in embarrassment. “Actually… that appraiser is my friend.”

“It really is you!”

This answer was within Lu Qingzhuo’s expectations.

He had already guessed it when he found out that He Youran wasn’t nervous at all. He just didn’t expect that He Youran would have such a wide range of friends.

She was an appraiser from an international authority! He Youran actually knew her!

“Yeah… you guys know that I’m a medical student,” He Youran said as she braced herself.

“Youran, since she’s your friend, you should have said something in advance. I was really scared today.” Old Madam Lu patted her chest in fear, “I even asked Qingzhuo to get a fake appraisal. If I had known that you had plans, we wouldn’t have bothered.”

“Grandma, it’s not that I want to hide it from you, but I really didn’t know what was going on either,” He Youran told the truth, “It’s true that Li Mingli is my friend, but she didn’t join the international appraiser agency. Maybe she heard about me from somewhere else and changed the appraiser that the He family in imperial capital wanted to hire.”

“Is that so?” Old Madam Lu was surprised. “Then her identity must not be simple. She could easily change the appraiser from the International Appraiser Agency.”

“Well, she is Alone’s student.” He Youran frankly told her.
